Greenhouse & Nursery Applications:
- Q: Is ZeroTol EPA Registered?
- A: Yes. ZeroTol is registered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
- Q: Is ZeroTol safe to apply to my flowers or young plant material such as plugs material?
- A: Yes, ZeroTol can be used for these applications when used at the preventive use rate of 1:300.
- Q: Is ZeroTol compatible with other fungicides?
- A: ZeroTol is chemically compatible with many other common pesticides, insecticides, and fertilizers. It will generally not be compatible with products containing copper, magnesium/zinc, magnesium/copper, and aluminum. If in doubt, mix a small amount of the finished solutions together to check for volatility or apply ZeroTol before another chemical. Never mix the ZeroTol concentration with another chemical concentration. Call BioSafe Systems at 1.888.273.3088 (toll-free) with any questions. (Always read the label.)
- Q: Can I mix ZeroTol with my fertilizers?
- A: Fertilizer compatibility is best when ZeroTol is added through a dedicated chemical proportioner used in direct feed applications. Never mix the ZeroTol concentration with a fertilizer concentration. Call BioSafe Systems at 1.888.273.3088 (toll-free) with any questions. (Always read the label.)
- Q: What is the shelf life of ZeroTol?
- A: ZeroTol will remain effective as long as it cannot react with anything. It is important to keep the container closed and the stock tank solutions covered. Freezing will not have an effect on ZeroTol.
- Q: Is ZeroTol the same as Hydrogen Peroxide?
- A: No. ZeroTol has a proprietary blend of stabilizers and buffering agents that allows it to be applied to plant material without danger of phytotoxicity to seedlings. Commercial hydrogen peroxide is highly unstable, and will quickly break down and lose its efficacy when exposed to organics and ultraviolet light..
